LOCATION: St. Lucia is one of the last unspoiled Caribbean islands. There are magnificent rain forests, secluded beaches, primeval mountain peaks and colourful fishing villages that time forgot.
Just 27 miles long and 14 miles wide, St. Lucia lies between Martinique and St. Vincent, and to the north-west of Barbados. The climate is delightfully tropical with year round average temperatures between 85-90°F.
Marlin Quay is set on the picturesque quayside at Rodney Bay, conveniently close to the bustling restaurants and nightlife, but in its own tranquil waterfront setting.
Rodney Bay, situated in the north of the island, is where the azure Caribbean Sea rims the island's western shore and where you will find the calmest surf and best beaches. Here you will also find the island's liveliest nightlife and best selection of restaurants. At Marlin Quay you are free to set your own pace, to experience everything St. Lucia has to offer - or just relax and do nothing at all. SHOW MAP
